The airflow is all mesh. Lillebaby also has an All-Seasons, that has a zip down panel that's mesh, but I've heard that's much hotter than the all mesh.</p> <p>I personally love my Airflow. It's cool, but still has all the features, like a big pocket (also mesh) to zip in keys or some cash and your phone. The embossed is a microfiber that wicks away moisture. I haven't tried it in hot weather yet, as I got it just a couple of months ago, but it's also supposed to be good.</p> <p>The Lillebaby can forward face ergonomically, plus inward front carry, side carry, and back carry. The ergo only inward front faces, but I know some people prefer that. </p> <p>I think carriers are kind of like jeans--you have to try a few on and see what fits your body and needs best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2486145 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 10:04:31 +0000 californiadreams 2486145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an ergo sport and was happy with it in warm weather </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2486120 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 09:42:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2486120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out Connecta's! They are from England, but there are US online retailers for them. They make a carrier with Solar Weave material which is basically swim trunk material. Super light weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485874 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 21:31:04 +0000 peachykeen 2485874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Ergo Sport Ventus (mesh) - we like it a lot! Still pretty hot during Georgia summers, but as bearable as it gets, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485728 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 17:12:54 +0000 MamaCate 2485728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: we have the lillebaby with the mesh part. It helps but both LO and I were sweaty by the end of longer baby wearing stretches. Not unbearable though. For reference I had a July baby in the hot desert southwest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485663 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 15:08:46 +0000 MrsKoala 2485663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the Ergo Sport Ventus (mesh) and I think it's done really well in the heat! I'm hoping to use it a lot when #2 arrives in September. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485605 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 13:12:20 +0000 Happygal 2485605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never used it, but I know the Pognae unzips to have a mesh front. I can see that helping, but the real stickiness comes in from the body-to-body point of contact, so if it's really hot, I'm not so sure that exposed area will be enough to make a big difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485562 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 10:40:36 +0000 fussygal 2485562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: @oliviaoblivia: @Mrs. Pink: thanks! I have a friend who highly recommends that one, too! Might have to test it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485557 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 10:34:15 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2485557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try the Lillebaby as well! You might have a local babywearing group with a lending library that has one (ours does) and you could try it out before you buy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485550 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 10:18:08 +0000 travellingbee 2485550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an ergo and I thought the same thing. I actually like the Mesh Baby Bjorn surprisingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485545 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 09:43:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2485545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also heard good things about the Lillebaby Airflow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485539 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 09:22:40 +0000 ShootingStar 2485539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard really good things about the Lillebaby Airflow. Kinderpack makes a good one too with cool knit, but those are really hard to get a hold of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-structured-carrier-for-warm-climate#post-2485469 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 02:04:45 +0000 fussygal 2485469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your favorite structured carrier for the warmer months? </p> <p>DS will be here soon and I want to buy a structured carrier for him. We had an original Ergo for DD and while I really liked it, it was SO hot. The summers here are insanely hot (and spring/early fall is pretty warm, too) so something that performs well in the heat is a must. There are so many carriers out there it makes my head spin just thinking about the research! :)</p> <p>ETA: I also have a Solly Wrap and a ring sling that I can use, but I found the structured carrier to be much easier on my back for longer outings. </p>
